It was a long time coming for Paradox, fully deserved especially after so many great performances in this event for years. Big up to Lumi for getting this far as well.
Paradox is a insane artist and a great guy. Also it's amazing how Lumi makes simple stuff so special with putting alot of attitude and feeling into it. Appreciate both of them.
And maybe for the video editers : I always love how this competition is filmed but this year, there were sometimes change of scenes with focus on the reaction of the public or on feets of the dancers. I found it not very useful. What is interesting and what we want to see in dance videos is the whole body of the dancers without any cut. So we can see every variation of the dance :)
I particularly like Lumi’s 2nd round. He really showed the essence of HipHop and how it’s not about accumulating many moves but showing your grooves and feelings through the variations of foundations, and story telling through the development of a single move. Plus his musicality is always sick with all the details and nuances which make dance a beautiful thing.
Paradox & his next level flexibility, variety, and precision throughout this event made me smile huge. His infectious smile & obvious love of dance are everything wonderful. Congrats on the earned win, Paradox! Thanks for never giving up & for the supreme comeback, my guy. You're the total package & a tremendous blessing for my eyes to see. Dieu vous benisse! Thanks for the post, Summer Dance Forever.
Got dang so happy for Paradox. Was 2013-14 he first started appearing at SDF past pre-lims? Well deserved, he killed it! I remember Paradox said he used to get laughed at in the beginning. His perseverance is inspiring!
What I love even more than Paradox's dancing is his humble and loving attitude, the man has such a pure heart and that energy shines through so powerfully and fills the entire room. And he is one of those rare dancers that truly becomes the music. An amazing artist. ❤
love the channel but can we please STOP changing the camera angle to the crowd when the dancer is in the middle of his set, I didn't get to see how paradox finished that move at 6:24 and his flow was crazy up until that point 😭
PARADOXXX!! I could not b happier for him and his historic win at home! I haven't felt that much excitement watching an overall performance like his (w/ control & confidence) since Waydi.....
@@kveezy23Lumi just has that chill lazy flow, but he didn’t deliver as much as he did in previous rounds. For example his round against spider and Joseph go were elite. But in the finals my man was rly not putting in everything he had and got beaten flat
I think all dancers at SDF should just say they won, leave it to the crowd then maybe they'll just change it to a decibel meter for every round even the earlier ones, get rid of the judges, such a weird format
The expectation that every dancer must choose style with athletic displays of energy is a complete misunderstanding. Lumi is great. His interpretation is always very consistent. "It's like lumi didnt care at all", "Lumi makes me believe i can dance", "how the fuck did he get into final even", "How did Lumi get to the finals dancing like this" what`s wrong with you people.
Lumi and to a degree alex are good indicators of one's understanding of dance and hip hop. Some people ask these questions geniunly and want to be educated but a lot are just oblivious and blind to their style. Yes lumi makes you believe you can dance, because anyone can dance, it doesn't need to look like olympics on streoids acrobatics to be dance, all it needs is beautiful sync with the music. Dance after all is movement led by music. Not acrobatics on the beat. And lumi, makes you hear the music and the harmony in it. He's so dope and I'm happy dancers like him get to far in SDF.
Yeah, I just thought the same thing. Lumi can dance and has got great timing and musicality but I've seen much better. I'm still waiting for him to take his coat off and start moving for real.
Yeah, what can i say about Paradox, he has the total package in a dancer. Well deserved win. Lumi you was dope too bro. I feel you have grown since that Sarcellite vs SOW battle. o7!!!
I’m so glad Paradox won. Im gonna be honest and say that I’m not exactly sure how Lumi got to the finals 🤷🏽♂️ The difference in skill level and overall expression, technique, and musicality is so clear between them, Sow didn’t even put up a fight. Rubix and Paradox would’ve been a better final for sure
I am a big fan of Paradox in terms of technical movements... but Lumi shows me that dance is not all about moves but how you groove along with the music. All the comments here saying that Lumi does not deserve to be in the Final..... watch it again hip hop is not only about movement. Personally, I think that Lumi is more on beat compared to paradox, but Paradox gave more energy into everything he does which might have shifted the favour. Anyways, props to Paradox for taking it all this year!
On beat? Paradox dances to every pocket. Maybe you don’t hear the other beats? Lumi dances on the 1,2,3,4. Kevin Paradox dances on words, sounds, little inflections that other people might miss. I’m not sure I’ve seen any dancer with his level of musicality tbh? And i’m a dancer myself.
@@hipethenomadmaybe i worded it wrong, I never say that paradox was bad, i even agree that he won the battle, I am dancer as well, but for me having a constant flow in dance makes the dance more fluent and smooth. I am also a fan of paradox, he has a wide technical movement to use which i think he did amazing especially staying in the pocket of different instruments. Lumi is great at adding layers upon the fundamentals. While Paradox is expert in changing up his movement according to the instruments in music. All around he gave more energy to his dance so i think thats why he won. 😅
Somebody explain that 6:41 ? what he’s doing doesn’t match the vibe of the song, you can’t tell what beat he’s hitting yet the crowd is losing their shit?
Because of the energy he brings. For example, In metal's palace discord server, when we labbed, they got hyped over my set because of my turn in one of our sessions, they told me that the energy I brought was hype even though I still have room for growth. It's not always about hitting beats, it's about the energy and the vibe you bring to the audience. I do agree that Paradox was missing some beats in some of his battles but you can't deny the fact that the energy he brings is amazing.
Very nice battle but why the different camera angles in the middle of their round ? I want to see the battle not some random dude in the crowd reacting to it
Lumi surely didn't believe he won after that third round. He is a great dancer but sometimes be like Rubix and say today I lost. The right man won in Paradox.
I don't know why was Paradox crying but I know he's coming from pretty far and had very difficult months due to his previous injury, I'm glad he came back and was able to win such a big tournament with all the love he has shared to us on the scene. Hope he will achieve every of those good things he want to achieve in the future
Is that Para's mom @ 11:56? I see great support but also a resemblance. On another note, earned & deserved are not synonymous. 12:36...Paradox absolutely EARNED that win. FACTS! Congrats, champ!
I can confirm it indeed was Paradox his mom. It was also the first time that she, his father and his little sister have been to a live event. So that made the win extra special for him.
Great Paradox but Love Lumi style nice battle ! 7:43 killin the beat like he was going to buy another wisky bottle but he slip in a puddle on the street #poetry
Lumi, win or lose? Lumi: I won Paradox, win or lose? Paradox basically: eh idk and idc, I’m just here to vibe THIS IS WHY WE LOVE HIM, EVEN FROM THE STATES 💖😭
Just not into Lumi’s style. It seemed like he danced the same in all 3 rounds with about 30% energy. Happy for Paradox. Who is the guy hugging/holding him? Can someone explain why the first dancer always go first? It seems like it would be a disadvantage for all rounds. The 2nd dancer has time to think through his moves and the song.
@@FIRELORDOZAI_ yeah it’s hip hop obviously 🙄..but when you have an elite dancer like paradox dancing with a guy who looks like he can’t be bothered being there makes the battle look like a no contest
@@J-qg6fhdid you watch his previous rounds? That’s a question you shouldn’t even be asking when there are videos of his previous rounds online, go look for yourself
It was a long time coming for Paradox, fully deserved especially after so many great performances in this event for years. Big up to Lumi for getting this far as well.
Paradox should have won it twice already, if he let the crowd judge his final with ICEE they would have given him the win.
love the attitude Paradox brings to the HIp Hop scene
i agree !!
yup, always positive. he sees dancing as a philosophy. he's the bruce lee of dancing.
That part bro
Paradox seems so calm, like he meditates or practices Tai Chi. He said he used to train in martial arts.

Dont bother, I contacted them in 2021 and they said that "people like the changes". They don't give a shit.
Thats a very polite way of saying they fucked up all the vids

Well deserved win, the hardwork and determination..such an amazing person and dancer. Paradox all the way!!!!!!!!!!!
Lumi has that old school gangsta vibe.
Paradox is to me amongst the five best hip hop dancer in the world.
Fair win but I loved Lumi's style
